What are the installation steps for DEV3 Pledgewell?

Install

1. Upload the pledgewell folder and make storage and bootstrap/cache writable.
2. Open the site. The installer at /install checks the server, writes .env, migrates and loads the demo or an empty install, then creates the operator account. Loading the demo takes a few minutes.
3. Add the cron entry * * * * * php /path/to/pledgewell/artisan schedule:run. It is required: campaigns settle, refunds retry and monthly gifts are charged from it.
4. For real traffic, set QUEUE_CONNECTION=database and keep php artisan queue:work running under Supervisor.
5. Sign in at /admin as the operator. Organisers use /studio; supporters use /account.
